Agave ghiesbreghtii

Agave ghiesbreghtii - A medium-sized agave that has individual rosettes to 30 inches wide by 2 feet tall and offsets extensively on short rhizomes to form tight solid clumps. The 3 to 4 inch wide leaves are widest toward the middle, slightly guttered on the upper surface, and have attractive and varied contrasting leaf color. The terminal spine is about 1/2 inch long and the margins have down-turned spines. Young leaves have attractive red margins and spines that age to pale gray as the leaf ages, contrasting well with the dark green leaves, which are also marked with a paler green midrib stripe. When plants mature and flower, often during spring, the greenish-purple flowers are borne on 8-13 feet unbranched spikes.
